After the Qiang soldiers had a good meal in a place they had not seen for a long time, they broke out from the south gate of Poqiang City at midnight.
Ma Teng was wearing a pale golden armor and riding a horse.
Following closely behind him were the remaining 28,000 cavalry.
This cavalry, which Ma Teng had once regarded as an important force against Jiang Chen, had not been put to use until the moment they fled.
The only time they attacked was when they ambushed Jiang Chen's camp, but they happened to fall into a trap. They fled in a hurry and lost more than a thousand men.
As for the 20,000 infantrymen who followed behind them, they were the only ones left.
This time, Ma Teng had a total of 50,000 soldiers in his hands.
As the connection between Poqiang, Xiangwu, and Zhang County had been completely cut off by Jiang Chen, the news of the breakthrough had not reached the other two cities.
However, Ma Teng believed that when he started to break out of the encirclement, the other two cities would hear the noise and start to break out as well.
If the three cities broke out at the same time, unless Jiang Chen had more than double the number of soldiers, even if Jiang Chen's subordinates were all elite cavalry, they would definitely not be able to trap all of them.
Ma Teng walked at the front of the team. He waved his hand gently, and two infantrymen immediately ran over and opened the city gate.
"Long-"
The sound of the door opening was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night.
Fortunately, it seemed that Jiang Chen's cavalry did not notice.
Without further ado, Ma Teng made a forward gesture, and the army broke out again.
They slowly crossed the city gate and approached the breakthrough point that they had previously planned.
Suddenly, a burst of fire lit up in the boundless night sky, followed by an earth-shattering battle cry.
Ma Teng turned around and looked around. They were all Jiang Chen's cavalry.
They were all dressed in black armor, black horses, crossbows on their backs, and scimitars on their waists.
It was as if he had fused with the boundless darkness.
If not for the sudden flash of fire, they might not have realized that their enemy had been watching them all along.
From the moment they opened the city gate to the moment they walked out of the city gate, every step they took was seen by the black armored cavalry.
They were like messengers from hell, cold and heartless, making people shudder.
Ma Teng drew the knife from his waist and shouted,""Soldiers, charge out of the encirclement together!”
"Kill them!"
In an instant, the sounds of battle cries, horse cries, and the collision of weapons were all heard.
At this moment, all the Qiang clansmen had a fierce look on their faces as they charged forward.
If they couldn't successfully break out of the encirclement, they would die!
With this desire to survive, their potential burst out.
They were a race famous for their bravery, so they immediately showed some extraordinary momentum.
At the same time, the Qiang soldiers of Xiangwu and Zhang County also began to break out of the encirclement crazily when they saw the commotion!
However, the black armored cavalryman's expression did not change at all. There was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes. There was only an extremely cold indifference.
Even if the opponent knelt down and begged for mercy or retaliated, they would not be moved at all.
Muffled groans and screams were heard as bright red blood dyed the ground red!
This was a battle without any suspense.
They were like demons from hell. Every time they attacked, heads fell to the ground and blood splattered.
Rather than saying that they were fighting, it would be more accurate to say that they were harvesting lives!
The main force of this cavalry was not the new recruits who had been recruited later. Instead, it was the black-armored cavalry who had been following Jiang Chen all this time. They had experienced countless bloody battles and had made outstanding contributions!
Only they had such strong combat strength, and only they had such terrifying killing intent and oppression.
Night, moonless.
The color of blood seemed to have dyed the sky red.
……
At this moment, the west gate of Poqiang City slowly opened.
More than a dozen riders rushed out from inside and fled into the distance.
Soon, they bumped into the black-armored cavalrymen guarding Poqiang City.
However, what was unexpected was that these seemingly small number of Qiang soldiers were actually unstoppable.
Even the black armored cavalrymen who were like messengers of hell did not block their way.
Most of the surrounding black armored cavalrymen were held back to the south gate. The defense here was weak to begin with, and in a short period of time, he had actually managed to charge out.
Immediately, a cavalryman ran to Jiang Chen's camp to report. The others continued to chase and leave signals along the way.
"Report!"
A black-armored cavalryman dashed towards Jiang Chen, Jia Xu, and Zhang Xiu.
He dismounted and cupped his fists." General, there are more than ten riders charging out from the south gate. We…were unable to stop them."”
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"Got it. There's no need to chase."
The black-armored cavalryman cupped his fists and hurriedly retreated.
"Ma Teng, this old fox…"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"Ma Teng?"
"The one who ran was Ma Teng? Then why didn't you chase after him?"
Zhang Xiu asked in confusion.
"It's just a Ma Teng, I can easily kill him," Jiang Chen said indifferently.”
"But if we kill Ma Teng, the Qiang people will be leaderless. Wouldn't their vitality be greatly damaged and they will no longer be able to cause trouble in the border areas?”
Zhang Xiu asked.
"Qiang people?"
"How many Qiang people will be able to break out alive tonight?”
Jia Xu looked at the tragic battlefield below.
The Qiang people had already suffered great losses.
After tonight, only 20 - 30% of the people would survive. Even if Ma Teng wanted to make a comeback, he did not have the capital to do so.
Then whether Ma Teng died or not was not that important.
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly. He somewhat understood Jiang Chen's thoughts.
The battle below had already reached its final stage.
All of Jiang Chen's troops added up to only 80,000.
There were only 50,000 of them that could be used to surround these three cities.
And Ma Teng's troops had reached 80,000.
It was obviously more difficult to annihilate 80,000 with 50,000.
Therefore, Jiang Chen's order was to inflict the greatest damage to the enemy, not to wipe them out completely.
After a while, a few black-armored cavalrymen came up with a man in golden armor.
"Report!"
"Catch Ma Teng!"
"Ma Teng?"
"Didn't he run away?"
Zhang Xiu looked at the man in golden armor behind him.
The man's hair was disheveled and his body was covered in blood. He looked miserable.
"Just a substitute."
Jia Xu said indifferently.
"Ma Teng has Pang De and Liang Xing, his two trusted generals, but in a life and death situation like breaking out of the encirclement, he only sees Ma Teng and not Pang De or Liang Xing. How can this person be the real Ma Teng?”
"Oh."
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly and came to a realization.
"Kill him."
Jiang Chen said indifferently without even lifting his eyelids.
The black-armored cavalryman at the side immediately raised his saber and waved it when he heard this.
Thump!
A round head fell to the ground.
